The Equibase® Speed Figure tells
you how fast a horse has been running in its past races
with a single number. Its sophisticated algorithms are based on the horse's
actual time in combination with other factors, such as the
condition of the track. A horse running in stakes company
might earn a 110 , while a horse running in a claiming
race might earn an 80. The Equibase® Speed Figure has been equalized
for different tracks, distances and conditions, therefore
a 100 at Laurel Race Course is the same as a 100 at Philadelphia
Park.
